Parallel to its teaching and research missions, the university pursues a third mission inseparable from its other activities: serving society. Turning university research findings into services or products accessible to civil society and companies—this is technology transfer.

As part of its mission to serve society, and thanks to its multi-site foothold, our institution whole-heartedly participates in the development of the entire French Community of Belgium (Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles). But as research and collaboration know no boundaries, UCLouvain seeks to contribute to the well-being of the general population

An internationally renowned university, UCLouvain is home to two science parks, in Louvain-la-Neuve and Seneffe, which create synergies between businesses and the university.
